Every one should attend the interstate contest to be held at Lawrence, and thereby encourage our orator. Kansas must win! Shall we be beaten on our own soil?—Washburn Argo. We were pleased one day last week to see some of our most prominent students appear in the halls with their graceful and shapely limbs enclosed in those convenient and becoming articles of apparel—the Knickerbockers. This reminds us of the good old days when Barry Hatch, that noble but somewhat unsuccessful reformer, was with us; when he, at the enormous sacrifice of time, pains and his father's pocket-book, tried to introduce this progressive and highly aesthetic custom. We are glad to see the revival of this movement. It shows that the students of the Kansas State University are willing to take upon themselves the burden of a much needed reform. Some may say that it is an innovation prompted mainly by the desire of vain display. However, this is not the case. It is a movement prompted by pure and philanthropic motives, and is worthy of the warm approval which it is receiving from the faculty. In fact, it is rumored that several of the professors have ordered abbreviated costumes, and are about to second the movement by their example. The "divine aflatus" for which we have so long been praying, has at last begun to exert its influence. Let the good work go on. P. The presentation of Fra Diavolo, by the Boston Ideals, was certainly the finest opera Lawrence has ever had the privilege to enjoy, and the best attraction the opera house has offered this season. Those who did not hear them can well be sorry, for we doubt much if we shall ever again have the opportunity, for while the house was fair, such a company deserves nothing less than a crowded house, and lose money when they do not have such a house; therefore, cannot be expected to return. The fact is, that if we desire good attractions, we must patronize them when they come. It indicates also a low taste in the students and community to greet "A Rag Baby" and "Uncle Tom's Cabin" with a packed house, and then only treat the "Ideals" fairly. NOTES.
